My hat is off to Enrique Martinez, who is commenting as an environmentalist who appears to know the business, and not to politicians, who generally talk a lot and do nothing. I hope that both countries forget politics now, and let the scientists do their jobs.

We use this as a paradox. Argentina is loaded with killing pollution, the old paper mills are just the tip of the iceberg. Mining is much worse. Take a look at his website and I like to read your opinions, I doubt it !!
